Why CCTV Video Surveillance Helps Prevent Crime


     There are things video surveillance does not do.  It is not a barrier to certain areas such as a store room or a managers office.  It does not make it harder for a shoplifter to put an item in a bag.  It does not directly protect a person from an robbery or an assault.  CCTV video surveillance is not the end all answer to all security concerns.  However having video surveillance does have a great impact on CRIME PREVENTION.

    For a video surveillance system to deter a potential criminal it is important that the public to know that there are cameras installed and are functioning.  Best way to accomplish this is by setting up a TV monitor somewhere on the premises usually close to the entrance.  Best video to show on this monitor is a video feed that will allow them to see themselves in the monitor and know that the system is not fake.  The idea is that any potential criminal will consider the risk of getting caught and decide the REWARD IS NOT WORTH THE RISK.

     While video surveillance deters potential criminals it can also make the public feel safer.  People understand that video surveillance helps negate potential threats and can help people feel safe and secure while on you premises.  This is the reason why shopping malls install security cameras in the public areas and parking lots of the property.  To make the public FEEL SAFE.
